Flexible Balancing Bird

Name: Flexible Balancing Bird

I've always wanted to make this model, but a fellow creator has already made one, so making another wouldn't be meaningful. Therefore, this time I've altered the style and structure. The model is inspired by a Japanese artist's creation (I've forgotten the specific name), combined with the mechanics of a balancing bird and the ability to achieve different bending and swinging effects by changing the counterweight.

Printing Details:

*Ensure the printed parts adhere firmly.

Installation Details: !!!

After connecting the supports, due to variations in filament and print quality, please remove the rear counterweight blocks!!!! Different counterweights yield different effects!!!

Remove them symmetrically from both ends until you achieve satisfactory results.

The image below shows the counterweight configuration in my pictures. By changing the tail-end weight, you can easily make the balancing bird bend and tilt its head.

Style Details: !!!!!!!!

Based on the differing balancing effects of various structures, I've made two styles (using different counterweight ratios), with each style exhibiting unique characteristics.

Style One: Easily achieves a tilted head, with a stable balancing structure.

Style Two: With a slightly offset center of gravity, offering a wider range of poses, but presents a greater challenge.

Structural Details: This model's structure differs from previous versions, possessing a distinct front and back.

This side faces upwards.

This side faces downwards.
